Jasmine Joy

First of all, we loved the house. There were 8 of us there (6 adult, two kids), and the layout/rooms fit us perfectly.
We loved the quick access to the beach, and of course enjoyed having our own screened pool. All of these things would bring us back again and again.
I do need to mention, however, three things that were 'downers' for us:
1. We had to work with the property management folks to trap/kill a rat that got into the kitchen during the second night and ate up some bread that had been left on the counter (properly wrapped, of course). To be safe, we kept all of our groceries in the refrigerator, or in a storage bin, or in the microwave to ensure we didn't have a repeat of this. John (the very nice guy that came to help us!) showed me the place under the sink where it was likely coming in... and mentioned that it needed sealing.
2. The nice thing about the kitchen is that there is a PLETHORA of cooking pots/pans for your use. The not-so-nice thing is that some of the guests before us stored away some UNCLEANED pans. Because of this, we had to work hard to make sure that everything was double-scrubbed and scalded before we used them to cook anything. We left everything cleaner than when we found it... not all guests do.
3. Finally, we dared not use the gas grill outside, because it was just plain nasty. Again, guests before us did not heed the request to properly clean the grill after use. So we did not get to grill our burgers during burger night... oh well.

Here's the thing... why didn't the people who 'cleaned' the unit before we arrived notice any of this? It was all there to see, if they had taken the time to notice.

Because of this, a less-than-perfect stay. Therefore, I can't give it 5 stars, and I can't immediately recommend it to a friend. But if these things were corrected properly, we would stay there again AND recommend it to others.

Great place for our family vacation. 6 adults and 2 children. Plenty of room and not far from the beach. Pool was a great plus.

amazing, amazing, amazing!!!!!!

Absolutely an incredible property to make your stay away from home feel like home. Well appointed, spacious, clean, and quiet in The Plantation part of St. George. It was nice to have multiple bedrooms with their own bathrooms. The oversized covered decks and screened porches made dining and gathering outside so comfortable. We've stayed at this property a few times at different times of the year. The private beach is never crowded no matter when we go. Enjoyed the pool just as much as the beach. Overall, it's our favorite vacation spot.

We’ve spent family vacations on Saint George Island Plantation since the early 1990s, first with our children and now with our adult children and grandchildren. For many years Jasmine Joy has been our family favorite that we return to annually. Jasmine Joy is a well maintained and beautiful home. It’s a great location on the Plantation with excellent proximity to the beach and the gate while offering more privacy than other Plantation homes. The private pool is a family favorite. On red flag days when gulf swimming is not an option, or other days when the surf is just too rough for our younger grandchildren, they never miss a day of swimming while enjoying Jasmine’s private pool. Two large screen porches allow us to always enjoy the outdoors. We highly recommend Jasmine Joy.
